Guaranteed a good meal in this restaurant. Check out their menu online. They have several different locations, however Talbot Street is my personal favourite. Right in the heart of Cathedral Quarter, perfect spot for some food before you go for a few drinks.

Drinks & Nightlife
Within walking distance, Lavery's would be my "local". It's good during the day where it's chilled and you can play a game of pool and at night all the pool tables are put away and the music starts. Also very popular for showing football matches etc.

This would be my regular bar. It's one of the gay bars in Belfast which provides good entertainment in the evenings and also has a roof bar which is nice on a dry day.

Sightseeing
Titanic Belfast
1 Olympic WayA good tour that you can do, which will tell you the history of the Gaol. Particularly interesting as some of our politicians (past and present) have "done time" here over the years.
I always enjoy this tour - recommend you give it a try if you've got time!
